Giveaway: Personalized Meal Plans from PlateJoy

This contest is now closed. In a few days the winners will be emailed directly.

It’s no secret that planning ahead is the key to avoiding processed food. But the job of figuring out what to make, writing out the shopping list, and suiting everyone in your family’s dietary preferences can be a dreaded task. So we’re excited to share with you a new (to us) meal planning service that provides it all, specifically tailored to what you are looking for: PlateJoy!

About PlateJoy

PlateJoy, the sponsor of today’s post and giveaway (see below!), sends you a short (3 minute) quiz about your personal preferences so they can provide you with personalized recipe suggestions and coordinating shopping lists. For example,

Are you vegetarian?

Not a fan of shellfish, soy, or perhaps peanuts?

Following the Whole30 diet?

Don’t eat red meat?

No problem. You can note this in your quiz, and your recipes will support these dietary preferences. You can even provide input on how long you want meals to take to cook, whether you do or don’t like leftovers, if you want recipes for breakfast, lunch, or even snacks, and more!

Once your personalization is set, you can start to create new menus. PlateJoy offers recipe suggestions, but you can adjust it as desired. For example, say that:

You know next Tuesday is going to be super busy, so you want a meal that can be thrown into your slow cooker.

Or you have a bunch of spinach from your garden that you want to use.

No problem. You can search by preferences such as “slow cooker” or “spinach,” and it will offer related recipes. I love that their system also focuses on using similar ingredients throughout the week, thus lowering your shopping bills and also minimizing waste.

Other benefits of PlateJoy:

The system keeps stock of staples that you have on hand in your pantry from past meal plans, so you’re only buying what you need.

Nutritional information is provided.

Shopping lists are available on mobile devices and in a printable format. And you can add additional ingredients to this list to help keep you organized.

You can also have ingredients delivered via Instacart in these areas (note: additional delivery fee applies).

This video offers a wonderful overview of just how well PlateJoy works.

Thanks to one of our sponsors, Nature's Legacy, I recently discovered how much I like spelt! The spelt grain is part of the wheat family and available in both whole and white form (just like wheat). Spelt is more mild than wheat though and in my opinion, especially when it's used in baked goods, the outcome is lighter and more cake like - yes, please! I first tried spelt flour in a whole grain pumpkin muffin recipe last year, and I am not going to lie...the texture is just divine, and this recipe still remains one of our favorites. And spelt products go beyond just flour, so be sure look for whole-spelt pasta as well and try some using the pasta recipe below. If you are new to cooking with spelt (like I was not too long ago!) here are some helpful facts...

My grandmother is known for both her Crepes and her "Apple Slices." And I don't just mean apples cut into slices. It is what she calls her version of apple pie, and maybe it's because she has such a big family (soon to be 28 of us!).

If you’re looking for an impressive yet easy romantic dinner then here's your answer. This is the perfect Valentine’s Day “stay in and cook something special” dish for the adults of the family. I tried this dish on my kids and they were not fans at all (and they also kept calling everything

This is a super easy one-dish meal that gets gobbled up quickly at my house. My younger daughter is rather picky about what veggies she'll eat, but she loves Brussels sprouts - go figure. So this is a go-to weeknight meal for us, and I love to sometimes pair it with wild rice on the side.

We love teriyaki sauce at our house and find that it’s great in stir-fry, on fish like sea bass and salmon, and on meat like chicken or pork tenderloin. This particular teriyaki sauce was inspired by a sea bass recipe my mother-n-law emailed to my husband back in 1998…and I still have a copy of

This Sunday sauce is a hearty, delicious crowd pleaser. There is just no other way to describe it! I was first introduced to this style of spaghetti sauce by our old babysitter, Kim, long ago when we lived in Florida and I was working full time for corporate America. While the baby (who is now 8 going on 9!) was napping, and I was working, rather than sitting around Kim would start or sometimes even make our dinner for us.
Now that is a good babysitter. If you are paying someone by the hour, there is just no need for sitting around in my opinion! And with our work schedules back then, it was such a life saver at times. Granted, at that time in our lives, the meat wasn't local and the tomatoes weren't organic and the pasta definitely wasn't whole-grain, BUT it was still a somewhat wholesome meal I very much enjoyed and remember to this day.
And thanks to a similar dish made by my friend Trang and a "Super Sunday Sauce" recipe I found in Rachael Ray Magazine I was able to piece together how Kim made this for us plus - added bonus - turn it into a dish that can simmer all day long in the slow cooker!

Every December I get together with my closest group of mom-friends (which originally started as a playgroup over a decade ago!) for a holiday cookie exchange party. This year I took these Whole-Wheat Ginger Snaps.

Carrie Vitt with Deliciously Organic once told me that she spent four years putting together her cookbook, and I believe it. Her book is so beautifully done that it honestly puts a lot of other cookbooks to shame! Plus it has such a wonderful personal touch and page after page it’s just obvious sh

If you dislike the sound of someone slurping through their straw to try to get every last little drop out of their cup then you probably shouldn’t make these smoothies. My kids absolutely LOVE them! And it all started when on a recent trip to buy groceries from Earth Fare we decided to also have l
